it was a nasty little green snake called Yig. Its evil owner told me it was gentle, and since I wasn't afraid of snakes, I held him when he gave him to me.

Good morning.
Here are couple of instances showing how WFMU can be sort of weirdly tentacular in the world:
I'm looking for a certain kind of music the other day, and I find the British Library collection of field recordings, and I wonder if Drummer has checked those clips, and I find in his offered links that, of course, he's been there and has recommended it, and what else is in those links? Lord Buckley, and I decide to expand my light familiarity with him, so I read a bit on an LB site and idly check out the art on one of his album covers, and it gets me to who/what? Irwin and the books he's put together on artist Jim Flora.
Later that day, shortly after hearing "Ding" on Ken's show and then pointing a commenter inquiring about it on Duane's show to Ken's playlist, I was downtown and ran into one of the musicians who created the track.
I don't know if any of that makes sense as described, but there was a funny kind of woof-moo weave goin' on. ....Even while there's this vein contrary to the common path & note crossings in which I find almost NO awareness of WFMU among most people I speak to 'round here.

Re: little green snakes: I used to listen to the soundtrack of the musical "Take Me Along" incessantly as a kid. Don't know why. Dug musicals. Here's one performed in the original cast by the Great One, Jackie Gleason: "Little Green Snake," in which he shares, w/ a guy hung the hell over, his own experience w/ the DTs:

Did you see my green snake?
My little green snake?
Was he hangin' from the ceiling like a fly does?
Did he wipe away a tear and ask where I was?
In his heart he's such a gentle little cuss.

Did you see the green man?
And the tattooed Indi-an?
Now did you know their names are Muck and Merkle?
See, I know this 'cause I'm in the inner circle.
I am one of them, and now, you're one of us.

Oh, the flying alligators are delightful,
I would see those little fellows in the hall.
And when I was in my cups,
They'd lick my hands like pups,
But the one I miss at twilight most of all...

Is my little green snake
In the little blue tree.
When my world starts gettin' hazy,
There's one question drives me crazy:
When my little snake gets drunk, does he see me?

From memory, so I may have missed a syllable here & there. You're lucky I'm not there or I'd have inflicted it on you all in song.

Thank you for "tentacular"

@NGH
Thems are lovely records. On the Inner City label, if I remember correctly.

Welcome aboard, tikk! You should try Anthony Braxton's marching band music. You won't need weed.

Avatar 10:53am Cecile:

Listener, that snake song is amazing. I have to find it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:53am Doug Schulkind:

At least people are talking about snakes and not spiders.

Speaking of oddball marching band music, this duet sounds apt.
Avatar 10:53am doca:

@Doug/Cecile: Have you heard that 4-CD box with the Braxton-Joe Morris duet on Clean Feed? Those are pretty recordings too, though more Braxtonish in a way

no, doca, I have to check that out.

My Anthony Braxton record section is huge. When I met Tyondai, he didn't mind that I brought up his father since he said rarely any one professed their love for his father's work (amongst the younguns)(this was 10 years ago)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:54am Doug Schulkind:

I do believe that was Han Bennink chanting "salt peanuts, salt peanuts" !!!!!!
Avatar 10:55am Cecile:

that is very cool, ngh. But it's sad that the children don't know of Braxton.
Avatar 10:55am still b/p:

I wish FMU would put "Ourobouros-a-riffic!" on a t-shirt.
Avatar 10:56am doca:

I guess children don't know even of Tyondai Braxton...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:56am northguineahills:

Of the standards Braxton recs I have, one is on A&M, the other on Leo.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:56am Doug Schulkind:

I interviewed Mr. Braxton for my college radio show back in '82. Was scared shitless.
Avatar 10:57am doca:

What's the link to the Braxton net label in which he puts his new releases for download?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:58am northguineahills:

'82, that was about the time of Braxton's 'classic' group, and when Graham Locke did an mindbending book about their tours.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:58am Doug Schulkind:

I was thinking of these Steeplechase records issued in the US on Inner City:

I didn't know it, @ngh. Thanks for the reference up here!

that looks like a great book.
And i have Amazon credit from gaming the system.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:00am northguineahills:

Cool, Doug, thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:00am Doug Schulkind:

A brilliant book, NGH. If Jeff or Jeff from Destination Out were here, they would second and third me.
Avatar 11:01am Cecile:

Braxton became less fearsome to me when I learned he loved doo wop and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02am northguineahills:

I loaned it to a friend a while back, so I no longer have it :(

Braxton was also a huge Charles Ives fan.
Avatar 11:02am doca:

Braxton was in São Paulo two weeks ago on a quartet with Mary Halvorson, Taylor Ho Bynum and Tyshawn Sorey (I guess). I tortured myself on Brazil being such a big country and I could afford to travel to São Paulo at the time.
Avatar 11:03am doca:

*couldn't afford...
Avatar 11:03am d¢ pät:

hey kids, kind of off topic but what's the name of that Japanese film, b&W with a crazy jazz group in it and guns and crap? Don't know much about it but hoping all the smart folks on here can help me out...

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:04am northguineahills:

One of the most awesome shows I've been to was Braxton and Leo Wadada Smith. My brain felt like I popped a molly.
Avatar 11:05am doca:

Have any of you read that George Lewis' book on AACM? It's great too (and a historian myself I find it awesome in historical-writing and thinking terms)
Avatar 11:06am Cecile:

I've seen Braxton twice with bands that were not up to his level. He was dragging them around, and it was hard to hear.
Avatar 11:07am Cecile:

WOW! Congrats, Doug's dad!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:09am northguineahills:

@doca:I read a review of it, it should be my next music book I read.

@Doug: gotta lunch! Thanks for the show and especially for the Braxton tune
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:13am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
I have read George Lewis' book. It is packed with historical info about the AACM. Overwritten with excessive academic jargon, but still — a must read.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:15am Charlie:

Hi Doug, and all. Stopping by to say hi and hear some superior sounds.
Avatar 11:16am doca:

@Doug: Yeah, but I'm used to the jargon eheh it surprised me too, but it is really a legitimate history of the thing. See ya later!

Great to see you, Charlie!

My iTunes feed of the stream has been steady. Buffered a couple of times before I started, but (knock wood) no issues since 9am (ET).

Thanks for the great show, Doug. See you all in the next room.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Wiki:
Darius Carlos Rucker was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, where his family history goes back generations. His single mother, Carolyn, a nurse, raised him with his three sisters and two brothers. According to Rucker, his father was never around, and Rucker only saw him before church on Sundays. His father was in a gospel band called The Rolling Stones. Rucker has said that he had a typical Southern, African-American upbringing. His family attended church every Sunday and was economically poor, and at one point, his mother, her two sisters, his grandmother, and 14 children were all living in a three-bedroom home. But he says that he looks back on his childhood with very fond memories.
